2. Western Kentucky at Marshall

The Conference USA East title will be on the line with Western Kentucky facing off against Marshall. The Thundering Herd have won the last four matchups however the Hilltoppers won three in a row preceding Marshall’s current streak.

It was looking bleak mid-season for the Hilltoppers. Since starting 1-4 however they have won six in a row. The Hilltoppers rely on their prolific offense. They average over 520 yards and 42 points per game, thanks mostly to their passing game. Quarterback Bailey Zappe only needs two more touchdowns to post 50 on the season and he also has a chance to pass the 5,000 passing yard mark against Marshall.

With all the talk of Western Kentucky’s offense, Marshall is pretty darn good on that side of the ball too. They average over 480 yards and 35 points per game. The Herd are more balanced on offense than the Hilltoppers. Quarterback Grants Wells has over 3,300 yards on the season and freshman running back Rasheen Ali has 1,142 yards on the ground with 20 touchdowns.

Neither team has a bad defense either, but with the prolific offenses, it is likely to be more of a shootout. If you like points, be sure to tune in. Also helps watchability with a division championship on the line as well.
